This is it! THE LARGEST TRAPS WE'VE EVER SEEN!The challenger to B52 for the "world's largest traps" title. Out of the thousands of flytraps we have growing here at FlytrapStore, DC XL grows the largest traps of any flytrap we've ever grown. The first traps in spring are usually the largest and can approach 2 inches in size on a fully grown DC XL flytrap. In addition to being ginormous for a Venus flytrap, DC XL is also an extraordinarily hardy grower, more than any other type we know of. DC XL is a handsome hardy monster flytrap, and we learn to love it more and more as we watch it grow over the seasons.
A giant monster of a plant. Grow one and judge for yourself! The "XL," in case it wasn't obvious, stands for X-tra Large. NOTE: The demand for DC XL is very high and supplies are extremely limited. We are propagating and growing DC XL as fast as we can to attempt to meet the very high demand. Learn More

Limited Reserve Plant. 'Scarlet Bristle' is a very nice short-tooth, red-leafed Venus flytrap variety. In addition to its unique color and teeth, it also produces unusually thick and "bristly" trigger hairs. Learn More

Limited Reserve Plant. Angel Wings will make you do a double-take for sure! - it's traps are turned inside out!! Angel Wings is also beautifully and uniquely hued, with salmon pink washed over its overtly curved open traps, and trap lashes that curl about at random. Not to mention that Angel Wings is exceptionally hardy. Matt and Leah love this one, and hope you will too! Learn More

Limited Reserve Plant. 'Alien' is a Venus fly trap clone originating from Europe that has extremely elongated traps and unique looking teeth that give it the appearance of the terrifying alien from Ridley Scott's famous film. Its traps can grow surprisingly large, and it is a very hardy cultivar. Learn More

"Polish Dracula" originates from an unknown grower in Poland. "Polish Dracula" has short, pointy teeth that often develop a red coloration which are reminiscent of blood-stained vampire fangs! Learn More

Limited Reserve Plant. A stunning beauty of a flytrap, FTS Purple Ambush develops intensely reddish purple interior traps. Out of the thousands of flytraps we grow here at the FlytrapStore, it has the deepest red colored traps of any plant we've seen. Learn More

Red Fused Petiole shares the rare distinction with Korrigans and Crocodile of having unique leaf bases that fuse to the trap, interestingly eliminating the petiole from the plant, which is quite unusual! Most impressively, Red Fused Petiole exhibits beautiful magenta coloration that can become so deeply saturated that it appears almost purple. Best Carnivorous Plants, of Europe, chose this cultivar as exceptional- a great endorsement indeed. Learn More

Sporting bizarre looking misshapen traps that look reminiscent of pom poms used by Cheerleaders, this unusual Venus flytrap was given its name and registered as an official cultivar in 2013. Learn More

SD Kronos is a giant Venus fly trap grown from seed started in 2011 by Stephen Doonan. Steve describes the plant as: "The best Venus Flytrap of thousands grown from the Flytrap Ranch's own seed over the years."
It is truly a giant flytrap, producing traps that are exceptionally large, on average. For us, the largest trap hasn't yet quite reached the size of the largest DC XL trap we've seen, but the traps are much larger on average throughout the season than most of the giant flytraps. Learn More

Pinnacle is a giant Venus flytrap variety that produces tall, robust leaves that grow nearly straight up in the summer and are topped with large traps on the ends of the leaves. Pinnacle also boasts graceful long cilia ("teeth").
Pinnacle was grown from seed by long-time Venus flytrap grower Dr. Samuel Vergio Miensinompe. Sam wrote that the typical trap of a fully grown Pinnacle is about one and three quarters inches. Sam states that Pinnacle traps can get as large as two inches, and sometimes they can pass the 2 inch mark by a few fractions of an inch when they are fully grown (that's about as big as it gets for Flytraps). Learn More

Purple Haze is an offspring of the cross 'Low Giant' and 'Akai Ryu' produced in 2005. It grows low to the ground year round, can get larger than average, and will stay dark purple in coloration if grown in good light. Learn More

Named for its very long marginal lashes that are usually red in coloration, Phalanx is a very striking Venus flytrap. If you like Phalanx, be sure to check out the newly introduced cultivar Trictherfalle x Coquillage that has very long "teeth" which rival or surpass those of Phalanx!

Booman's Mutant is an awesome little chameleon. The appearance of Booman's Mutant varies drastically from season to season. It normally has long, thin leaf-bases, similar to Korean Melody Shark. And in the spring traps look almost normal, but are slightly misshapen with shorter-than-normal teeth (cilia). As the growing season progresses, the teeth get shorter and shorter and almost appear non-existent during the winter months, as shown in the product photo. Learn More

One of 4 plants in the WIP family of flytraps, selected by long-time carnivorous plant grower Bob Hanrahan, WIP Long Snapper grows exceptionally long and sturdy leaves and is a truly impressive plant. Learn More

An absolute DISASTER of a Venus flytrap! This freaky flytrap frequently has traps that are utterly and totally misshapen. A wonderfully irrational Venus flytrap!

Selected from a group of seedlings resulting from a Microdent and Weinrot (red-leafed flytrap) cross, this particular Venus flytrap has the ability to develop beautiful deep red traps and a red line on the outside of the trap in strong light. Like the mother plant, Microdent, this particular clone also has exceptionally short and numerous teeth. Learn More

Mirror x Mirror is a dramatic improvement over the wonderful Mirror Venus flytrap. Whereas Mirror will sometimes revert to looking like a normal Venus flytrap, especially in the spring months, Mirror x Mirror predictably creates traps with flanges on both sides all year long. Only rarely does Mirror x Mirror not produce the interesting flanged traps. And sometimes, Mirror x Mirror will produce traps with up to FOUR flanges! Learn More

Scarlatine is a spotted sawtooth Venus flytrap, similar to Spotty. This plant was selected by and sourced from French Venus flytrap grower Lucien Blacher. A very vigorous and large growing plant. Beautiful, to say the least! Learn More

Cerberus is a Venus fly trap cultivar similar to Mirror which forms small traps on the side or backside of the main trap. The distinction between Cerberus and Mirror is that Mirror sometimes rarely forms the small additional traps, whereas Cerberus forms them with predictable regularity.
Cerberus was discovered by Stephan Glied in 2010 from a batch of seeds and has been propagated and distributed by Michael Ermel in Germany. Learn More

Pure plant evil, bwahahaha! Dare you adopt one of these "puppies"? Feast your eyes on these seedling spawn of the infamous Werewolf flytrap cultivar from Europe, exceptionally identifiable by its awesomely intimidating Werewolf fang "teeth." These Werewolf Spawn were painstakingly grown from seed by Matt here at FlytrapStore, from self-pollinated Werewolf flowers. There are 13 genetically distinct Werewolf Spawn (the number is purely coincidence, we swear), all greatly resembling the Werewolf "top dog," yet each also unique in slight and interesting ways. Werewolf Spawn are truly a Top 5 favorite for both Matt and Leah at FlytrapStore - we hope you'll agree!

Crocodile is named for its traps that resemble an open crocodile's mouth! It very uniquely grows a leaf-base that is fused directly to the trap, and is missing a petiole. Quite the freaky cultivar! Also, Crocodile is an extremely vigorous and hardy plant, with its "scary" Croc traps. Learn More
